224: C224 Back to Beijing

C224 Back to Beijing

A quarter of an hour later, the four tables were all in a mess.

Looking at the empty bowls and plates, Ye Tian wondered why the team of seventeen from the Jade Lake was so good at eating. Originally, when Mei Rou had just entered the Jade Lake West Garden gate, Ye Tian had already suspected if he could afford to raise this Devil Clan girl.

Ye Tian might still be inexperienced, but he didn't know that women were all gluttons.

Everyone walked out of the gate of the Desolate Land and still sat in the carriage prepared by Tang Delee. After a series of hoof beats, the four carriages slowly left the West City Gate realm along the main road of guests and headed towards the Shangjing City.

To the west of the prefecture was the northern plains. It was a flat plain.

Four hours later, Ye Tian lifted the curtains. Looking through the endless farmlands, he could vaguely see the Shangjing City's tall walls.

Compared to an ordinary city, the walls of the imperial city were thicker and taller. Ye Tian suddenly remembered from his previous life, a phrase that described the Yuan Dynasty's capital city: The walls of the Yuan Dynasty were dangerous, and its upper class was floating, while its servants were like ants.

Lifting his head, Ye Tian watched as the towering city wall gradually filled his entire field of vision. Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of sorrow for the empire arose in his heart.

Due to the need of the national operations, Nangong Aristocratic Family had long ago handled the inbound and outbound tokens which were commonly used throughout the country. When the soldiers guarding the door saw this token from afar, they let the carriage pass by without asking any further questions.

An hour later, a carriage finally stopped in front of Jade Lake West Garden's gate.

Ye Tian got off the carriage and stretched. Then, thinking of something, he walked through the Jade Lake West Garden gate, went inside, and sat on the stone bench under the Pear Blossom Tree.

The group of beautiful women with red fans all followed behind Ye Tian and arrived at Jingann Courtyard's courtyard.

Ye Tian crossed his legs and looked at more than a dozen beauties in front of him. This feeling was very similar to the Great Games of his previous life. A row of girls with excellent looks and figures were lined up in front of the stage.

Ye Tian glanced around in satisfaction and couldn't help but sigh: "It really feels like a talent show."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, all the other beauties rolled their eyes and then turned around and whispered to each other.

At this time, Chu Yue took a step forward and walked in front of Ye Tian. "When are you planning to report to Royal Father?"

Hearing Chu Yue's words, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at the sky at noon. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said: "It's just about time for lunch, let's hold a simple celebration at Jade Lake West Garden. This time, not only did we successfully rescue Princess Chu Yu, we also brought back a level nine Divine Beast and a level ten Devil Beast.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued, "In the afternoon, you, Chu Yu, and Zhentian will report to the Emperor."

Eldest Imperial Princess Chu Yue smiled lightly and nodded.

Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and the others quickly fixed a large table of food. The good mood of the group when they returned home was not only because of their great appetite, but also because their alcohol tolerance seemed to be higher than usual.

Ye Tian couldn't help but drink a few more cups between the glasses of wine.

While he was still in a daze, the meal slowly ended. After all, Denean was in charge of the Empire's financial center, the royal family's Bureau of Mint. And Lin Qiyu's subordinates were also commanding the Divine Weapon Camp s of several hundred people. Zhao Zhentian was also the emperor's personal guard. Since he had returned to the Shangjing City, there was no reason not to report to the emperor first.

As for Murong Qi, Nangong Feiyan, and Ouyang Ruochen, they were all the heads of their huge families and had not shown their faces for almost a month. Who knew how many important matters they had delayed.

There was even less of a need to talk about Yeh Rong. Without her overseeing everything, the matters of the Dark Holy Temple had practically come to a standstill.

Only Mei Rou, Bi Ling, Yu Loong, Sophie, Anqi, Yeh Ka, Yu Loong and Feng Lian did not have a specific position, so they did not have to worry about working affairs.

Although he was feeling a little dizzy, Ye Tian straightened his clothes and told Chu Yue before calling Chu Yu and Zhao Zhentian. The four of them rode on a horse carriage and arrived at the palace.

Within the Imperial Study, the emperor was still standing with his hands at his sides.

Two daughters, one personal bodyguard, and one would-be Prince Consort who viewed his children like his own son. Nearly a month had passed, but there was still no news of them. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

For a time, the Emperor had a bad feeling in his heart.

Yes, very bad.

In the past twenty years since he ascended the throne, regardless of whether it was natural or human, the Emperor's heart had always been strong. If one did not have a strong mental fortitude, how would they be able to hold on to the throne.

But at this moment, there was a clear trace of fear in the Emperor's heart.

Once the fear was born, it was like a spark burning in the sky, making it even harder for the emperor to stop his wild thoughts.

My son, my daughter, it can't be that they won't be able to return, right?

Honestly speaking, the one who took Chu Yu away was a Intermediate Godly Warrior. Behind her, there was also Primary Godly Martial Master. With such a powerful lineup and strength, it was impossible to tell if Ye Tian and the rest had had any luck during their journey.

The emperor felt a tinge of regret as his heart was in turmoil. If he didn't let Chu Yue and Ye Tian go, he would have at least seen one of them by now.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door and Eunuch Lee rushed in.

The Emperor put away the grief in his face and frowned. "Dede, why are you so flustered?"

Lee Defu ran to the front of the emperor and gasped for breath. He pointed to outside the Imperial Study gate and said: "Emperor, Your Majesty, Duke, Princess Palace, Your Highness, has returned."

The emperor's expression changed as he asked in surprise and delight, "Which princess is back? Yue Er or Yu? "

"Two, two princes and a princess, both … are back." Lee Defu's body was originally weak. In a moment of desperation, he felt even more helpless.

However, the emperor had still heard it clearly. Overjoyed, he lifted his leg and was about to walk out when he saw a line of four people entering in a line into the Imperial Study.

Chu Yue and Chu Yu bowed towards Ying Ying and said in unison, "I pay my respects to Royal Father."

Behind the two princesses, Zhao Zhentian and Ye Tian also kowtowed and said, "This subject kowtows to Your Majesty."

Ye Tian continued, "On the orders of His Majesty, I went to rescue little Her Royal Highness. "Now that I have forced my enemies to retreat, I have brought Little Princess back to the capital to pay my respects to the Emperor."

The Emperor was overjoyed. His body trembled slightly as an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. Stunned, the emperor suddenly raised his head, slammed the table and laughed out loud.

Laughing, the emperor stepped forward and helped his two daughters up. He looked around and found that Chu Yue and Lili were both unharmed. Then he looked at Zhao Zhentian and Ye Tian. Apart from becoming darker, the two of them were no different.

With great effort, the emperor tried to suppress the joy in his heart. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Ye Tian meaningfully. He said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of difficulties and dangers along the way."

Ye Tian looked up, chuckled, and said: "Fortunately, overall, our luck is quite good. We were finally able to get away safely."

The emperor poked Ye Tian with his finger and jokingly scolded, "You're still as glib as ever."

After saying that, the emperor looked at Zhao Zhentian and said: "Zhentian, your old ailment didn't come back, right?"

Zhao Zhentian replied with a solemn face, "Your majesty, ever since Doctor Wu Tie's [Holy Hand] returned to its former glory, your subject has not had a relapse but has grown stronger."

The Emperor nodded. A quarter of an hour ago, his heart was still filled with grief and fear. But now, he was overwhelmed by the sudden great joy.

Returning to the study desk, the emperor forced himself to calm down. He looked around and slowly said, "Okay, no matter what, it's good as long as you guys come back."

After a pause, the emperor asked again, "Minister Ye, you have done a great service to save Yu. Other than Liaodong, what else do you want? "

Ye Tian was stunned. He had never considered this question before. Honestly speaking, a Liaodong Governor and Liaodong Commander-in-chief, as well as Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order's position, this kind of power and influence was enough for Ye Tian. After all, in this imperial court, he was a newcomer. He had no sect, no roots, no roots.

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment before he answered: "This subject believes that the Emperor's reward is already equal to my small achievement. This subject does not dare or wish too much."

The Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "I heard that you have a team of eleven men from Jade Lake City. They must have contributed a lot to the rescue of Yu this time, right?" The Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "I heard that you have a team of eleven men from Jade Lake City.

Ye Tian swallowed his saliva. It wasn't a problem for them to appear publicly in the imperial court, but the original eleven people of Jade Lake City had now turned into seventeen people.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian replied with some awkwardness, "Reporting to the Emperor, aside from Commander Zhao and the two princesses, there are already thirteen people in my team."

The Emperor waved his hand, "No matter if it's a dozen or so people, bring them to me tomorrow morning. I want to see for myself the people who have great merits for the Imperial Family."2

Ye Tian nodded and agreed.

Ye Tian faintly understood the emperor's intentions. In terms of position, Ye Tian was a member of the royal family, so naturally, the seventeen people of Jade Lake City were on the royal family's side.

Whether it was witnessing it personally or hearing it from others, the Emperor already had a basic impression of the strength of the Jade Lake West Garden's guild.

Moreover, First Princess Chu Yue could be considered to be a member of the standard Jade Lake West Garden. Furthermore, the Emperor had personally witnessed the methods of Chu Yu's primary fire attribute Magic Mentor.

As such, the emperor had a strong interest in this team that stood on the royal family's side.

Now that Ye Tian had saved Princess Chu Yu and made a huge contribution, it just so happened to show that this team had extraordinary strength. The Emperor wanted to use this opportunity to establish himself in the imperial court and let both the military and the imperial court have a look.
